Jobbeschreibung

Robot Client SDK Engineer (human)

Neura Robotics • Bielefeld

Shape the Future of Human-Robot Collaboration

In the Software Department, you're shaping robotic solutions that redefine human‑machine collaboration. You'll work with cutting‑edge technology, setting industry‑changing standards. Not only will you help develop our solutions, but you'll also set new trends and drive innovations forward. In an agile and interdisciplinary team, you'll engage in exciting projects. With clear Scrum processes like daily stand‑ups, sprint planning, and reviews, you remain flexible and efficient. Collaborating closely with other departments allows you to create software solutions that are both technically advanced and practically effective.

Your Mission & Challenges

• protoc + buf toolchain for client‑side code generation; CI pipelines regenerate clients on every proto change
• Python client SDK: idiomatic wrappers with context managers, async/await variants, IDE completion stubs, pip wheels published to internal PyPI
• C++ client SDK: RAII channel lifecycle, async, language‑idiomatic exception hierarchy, Conan/vcpkg packages
• Java client SDK: builder patterns for requests, CompletableFuture, Maven Central artifacts
• Channel lifecycle handling across languages: timeouts, deadline propagation, reconnection logic, TLS/mTLS configuration
• gRPC status to language‑idiomatic exception mapping: hierarchical exception types with semantically meaningful subclasses
• Client/server version‑skew compatibility tables—published policies on client‑server version support, automated compatibility tests
• Semantic versioning aligned with the platform architect, deprecation policy enforcement with linter warnings, migration guides
• Simulation‑mode toggle inside the client: same proto interface, simulation backend for offline app development
• Observability hooks per language: structured logging, OpenTelemetry tracing context propagation, Prometheus client metrics
• Reference example applications per language demonstrating canonical patterns: pick‑and‑place, mode switching, fault recovery, telemetry streaming
• Auto‑generated documentation per language: Sphinx (Python), Doxygen (C++), Javadoc (Java); examples kept in sync with API surface
• Internal customer onboarding: skill bundles, evaluation harnesses, R&D notebooks, demo apps—all start from your reference template
• RFC co‑review with the Robot Platform Integration Engineer on every proto change

What we can look forward to

• Developer experience with platform SDKs—has shipped client libraries used by external or internal customers.
• Proficient in at least two: modern Python (typing, asyncio, pyproject.toml/wheels), modern C++ (17/20, async patterns, build systems), Java (CompletableFuture, Maven build).
• Hands‑on with gRPC ecosystem: protoc, buf, grpc‑python, grpc‑java, grpc‑cpp—has implemented production clients.
• Multi‑language packaging: manylinux pip wheels, Conan or vcpkg recipes, Maven Central publishing—experienced with full CI pipelines.
• API design fluency: gRPC/REST/GraphQL, semantic versioning, deprecation policy authorship, backwards‑compatibility analysis.
• Documentation tooling: Sphinx, Doxygen, MkDocs; capable of owning end‑to‑end documentation deliverables.
• Cross‑language async patterns: understands trade‑offs among sync, async, and streaming gRPC across languages and their ergonomic differences

Nice to have

• Familiarity with robotics or industrial control to discuss latency and timing semantics with robot platform engineers
• Experience writing language bindings for a native library (PyBind11, JNI, SWIG, cppyy)
• Authored OpenTelemetry instrumentation libraries across multiple languages
• Working knowledge of ROS 2 client library design (rclpy / rclcpp)
• Written a developer‑portal API reference or SDK tutorial series for external developers
